Dude wants like 0 tax and mah freedom. Look at his profile, what’s wrong with teasing a random American who feels entitled to whinge about what a government half the world away is doing?

Seems like you’ll hate it. I would’ve thought you’d prefer guns in school and no welfare because governments governing pisses you off.

Why?
Put aside your nostalgia for the game for a minute. Wouldn’t it be better if the game didn’t feature the slot machines? They’re
a) not important mechanically, narratively, or artistically.
b) presenting something socially harmful and addictive with absolutely zero context as to those harms.
c) Potentially some of a generation’s earliest exposure to gambling, and presented as an annodyne game with some mechanical benefits to playing.
The goal isn’t to keep Pokémon out of the hands of kids, it’s to encourage people to not include this stuff in children’s games. Imagine if you could just light a ciggy at some point in the game to give your Pokémon 5 experience points or whatever, it’s a completely gratuitous and possibly harmful.

chemists live longer because all the poisons are fighting each other.

Industry pressure is my guess. Easier to start with the “nuh dah” examples than get caught in the lootboxes == slots legal battles.
- Comment on I am a chilli enjoyer and I tried buldak 3x 2 days ago:
Much to my deepest regret.
I woke up at 3am to spend some time RPing a volcano on the dunny and things have marginally improved since then.
Tbh the remaining ramen looks tempting now, but my wife has taken away the sauce packets and hidden them “for my own good”.

- Comment on Protest photographer loses part of ear after being shot by rubber bullet 3 days ago:
I dunno you tell me what the subtext of opening with defending the cops and denying that cops target media. Then goes into both-sidesism.
And then wow look at what happens later:
But to say we shouldn’t place any blame on individuals over-simplifies the problem. There are multiple issues at play here, I don’t think you can just wave away the personal responsibility of the individuals involved.
Oh look it’s both sides are at fault again. If you’re filming at a protest, or even attending you have some personal responsibility for getting collaterally shot in the face or teargassed.
This is nonsense, the violence is extremely asymmetrical and involves the use of indiscriminate weapons. I mean imagine if a protestor fired rubber bullets or teargas into a crowd to hit a shell or LM exec, what would anyone be saying about that person? He’s not presenting some nuanced critique, he’s gone straight into defending violence which would constitute literal war crimes if it wasn’t the police doing it.

Got it, saying protestors should be targetted with indiscriminate chemical weapons = not being a dick. Pointing out that a particular user is calling for the sort of violence banned in the Geneva convention = being a dick.
- Comment on Protest photographer loses part of ear after being shot by rubber bullet 5 days ago:
Of course Ilander is defending the cops.
How was the party room update? Dutton have anything interesting to say?
- Comment on Protest photographer loses part of ear after being shot by rubber bullet 5 days ago:
They have shields, visors, and helmets mate. They’re not under trebuchet fire, it’s gonna be a handful of people throwing small objects. Chemical weapons are indiscriminate torture devices.
Cops are organised, trained and in radio contact. They can do stuff like retreat and encircle.

Anti-war demonstrators hurled rocks, eggs, beer bottles and canned food at police, who
respondedescalated with stun grenades, tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets during a series of skirmishes outside the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Wednesday. - Comment on Studying colonisation and Aboriginal resistance to be mandatory in NSW high schools 6 days ago:
We defs didn’t study this at school in 2000. Just like the stolen gen. None of the massacres and defs non of the resistance.
Aboriginal people were reduced to non participants in history. A group of people whites acted on, but did not act themselves.
- Comment on Australia strips medals from military commanders over Afghanistan war crime allegations 1 week ago:
“The government’s decision overlooks the courageous leadership of these young officers on the battlefield based on unproven allegations that somewhere in a remote village unseen and unknown to these commanders, an unlawful act might have occurred on their watch,” Hamilton-Smith said in a statement.
Won’t someone please think of the Brassildren?

- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 1 week ago:
yeah I figured you were, but it seemed like some people were actually engaging with it. As if make-work somehow made the line go up.
There’s a fun joke:
2 economists are out walking. The first economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the other, “I’ll pay you $50 to eat that dog shit.” So he does and gets paid $50. Later on, the second economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the first, “I’ll pay you $50 to eat that pile of dog shit.” So he does and gets paid $50.
The first economist says, “I can’t help but feel we just ate dog shit for nothing.” “Nonsense,” says the second economist, “We just contributed $100 to the economy.”
Of course actual economists aren’t this terrible, but the popular perception of economics/monetary theory is about this braindead.

Obviously this is a joke, but if it even sounded remotely plausible to anyone reading fix yourself.
- Comment on Slaughterhouse video taken by ‘extreme’ animal activists amounts to ‘ongoing trespass’, federal court told - Vegan Theory Club 1 week ago:
Well, they have to resist it if they first create the circumstances for it to be made, then decide to do the evil thing. Humans are in fact capable of making moral choices. Their response could be, for example, publishing it themselves or like shutting down.
It’s only inevitable if you assume enough people involved don’t actually care about what is going on and instead choose to make the line go up.
- Comment on Slaughterhouse video taken by ‘extreme’ animal activists amounts to ‘ongoing trespass’, federal court told - Vegan Theory Club 1 week ago:
And yet people make laws protecting it, people elect people who make those laws, when given a choice between supporting the industry and not they support the industry. When activists show the horrors people insult and ridicule them.
you just want to feel justified in not going vegan till someone else solved the problem for you.

idk how to tell you this but if you aren’t vegan this is the shit you enthusiastically support. Like you work hours of your life to pay for, you vote to tax people to subsidise it and you support censoring what actually happens.

- Comment on i will never understand scientific fraud 1 week ago:
That is absolute nonsense. Where does the idea that the nastiest expression of desires is the truest come from? It’s a completely absurd and unverifiable idea.
People do stuff, putting people in power over others tends to result in the people doing worse stuff. The variable we can tweak here is the power.
